Alberta struggles to replace lost jobs amid low hydrocarbon prices, companies are looking to maximize their recovery of retrograde condensates, policy wonks worry about how to diversify the economy and oil producers are looking for diluents. Current headlines can easily be replaced by headlines from the 1980’s. This presentation will compare today to yesteryear to gain some perspective, but will focus on how the mix of hydrocarbons, and particularly mid-weight plastic-feedstock hydrocarbons, is changing over time as companies shift their development, adapt to conditions and seek out new markets.”
